There is actually no big difference between Zhou Shi's international version of "Ant Forest" and Alipay's "Ant Forest". The so-called low-carbon life is barely a high-end excuse. However, many people like this excuse and are willing to follow it.

Yahoo Pay is negotiating with water, electricity and coal service agencies in the United States to provide them with payment services, other phone bills, credit cards and other functions, as well as movie tickets, group buying, online local life consumption, Yahoo has them. Of course, its main function is to rely on yelp, lyft, etc. to provide services to them. If you really have the influence of Alipay, it will probably be difficult to achieve, and at most it will reach the level of WeChat payment. Well, it seems to be very difficult. No matter what,

Putting these things aside, on December 12, Yahoo held a mips open source architecture cooperation conference in Silicon Valley, attracting most well-known high-tech companies around the world to participate. These include Microsoft, Apple, Google, ff, Oracle, Intel, ibm, amd, Tesla, Nvidia, China's Bat, Huawei, Time Friends, MediaTek, etc., as well as a large number of tech workers who want to start businesses in this direction. Zhou Shi personally came forward to host the conference.

"To be honest, I don't know how important the open source of mips architecture is. I only know that existing chips are difficult to meet the needs of artificial intelligence, driverless driving, cloud computing and big data centers, etc. I don't know whether mips can succeed. In the end, it depends on everyone's joint efforts..." Zhou Shi called on everyone to jointly create a good mips architecture ecosystem at the conference. In order to prevent product fragmentation and lose competitiveness, mips engineers and Yahoo Research Institute and Yahoo Brain members had a lot of discussions, and later had a lot of communication with Microsoft, Google, and Apple. After several revisions, the draft was delayed for a long time, which led to the relatively complete results.

Zhou Shi didn't know how to open source the source, but he just knew that Yahoo maintained the dominance of the development of this project, and of course the ultimate voice would need to be decided by contribution.

As mips was officially opened, the market responded immediately. The most affected stock prices were obviously the decline of Arm, Intel, and Amd. In contrast, Yahoo's stock price rose, and its market value finally exceeded US$50 billion. The outside world had a fierce discussion on this.

"Mobile Internet, artificial intelligence and cloud computing, a classic open source chip architecture can do a lot. The only question is why it is not Google doing this, but Yahoo, which is short of money."

"Can Yahoo really lead the development of the times? Will they be dragged down by their own financial situation?"

"Microsoft, Google and Time announced that it supports the open source architecture of mips. Will arm disappear?"

Yahoo has made the mips architecture open source, and the most affected by the arm, not American companies such as Intel, and has been widely praised by the academic community and business community. It is almost destined to have a group of open source architecture chip design companies in Silicon Valley. However, Britain is very fucked by Yahoo's decision. In fact, since Zhou Shi made a rumor to open source, they have done a lot of work. However, open source is beneficial to all countries, and the most loss is a specific company. At this time, it is obviously not very suitable to find trouble for Zhou Shi for business interests. There is another view of him in China!

"The open source of the mips architecture gives Loongson and other companies a broader space for the development, and China has a greater possibility of breaking Intel's chip monopoly."

"This is the guarantee of the security of the Chinese industrial revolution and should be vigorously developed..."

"What is Yahoo's purpose of doing this? Is it really for the security of the Chinese information industry? Let's look at Yahoo's stock price trend since Yahoo first announced the open source of the mips architecture at the beginning of the year..."

MediaTek, a company that has become increasingly depressed due to the strong rise of Spreadtrum Communications, also got a chance to breathe. Their chairman also went to Silicon Valley to express strong support for the open source of the mips architecture, and MediaTek's stock price also rose.

You should know that at this time, Texas Instruments, Meiman Electronics, Nvidia, and STMicroelectronics are still competing in the mobile phone chip market. The smartphone market is in full swing, and various mobile smart terminal products are constantly emerging. Although there is no visible chips for artificial intelligence, the potential it has now been shown is already attractive enough.

Mobile chips with mips architecture will definitely appear. It is hard to say whether they can replace chips with arm architecture. In short, they will not fail miserably. Time, friends, Alibaba, and Baidu can guarantee that it will not lack applications in China. Foreign companies also have F&F, Amazon, youtube, Twitter, Time and Yahoo to make special optimizations for mips architecture. It can be said that whether it is entertainment games or social videos, mips will be destined to achieve a good market share as soon as it is born. In 2013, Nut will definitely produce and sell mips chip architecture smartphones in small batches. In 2014, Guoke will also launch mobile phones based on mips architecture. Using its strong market share and brand appeal, Yahoo mips' success is almost certain, but this success does not make much profit.

"If Yahoo fails in the end, then I won't say it. If Yahoo's own layout and business can succeed, our contribution to the open source industry will become our attractiveness to talents. When I first came, Yahoo, Microsoft, Google and Facebook, had no attraction to senior talents. It can be said that we can only pick up what they have left. But since I invested in artificial intelligence, developed Yahoo's brain, invested in the open source cloud computing industry, supported the open source industry, and acquired mips this year and opened it. Yahoo is very attractive to talents.

The increase is now at least not worse than Facebook. Our attractiveness to talents does not come from employee salaries. Yahoo does not have the financial strength and Google at this time, and Microsoft is more than employee benefits. Yahoo’s greatest attraction to them is probably open source in addition to artificial intelligence. The reason why Time can be successful in the United States is largely because of open source." Zhou Shi explained to Liu Chuanzhi, who came to Silicon Valley, for the sake of his actions at Yahoo.

"Since you acquired Yahoo, I have never known how you would break the situation. At first I thought it would change Yahoo's business direction and let Yelp replace Yahoo. I didn't expect it to be, but I heard that you wanted to give up Yelp at that time. Later, I saw you investing in artificial intelligence with a lot of money and thought you wanted to gamble in this direction, but I didn't expect it to be wrong! You are actually for talent. It seems that I am really old and my temperament is not as good as you!" Liu Chuanzhi

"Why should Mr. Liu say that? The final competition of a company depends on strength. My approach is somewhat different, but it may not last long!" Zhou Shi

"Why do you have to belittle yourself? Those who don't know think you are boasting. After all, the competition in the company is still a competition between people. Now the outside world has a high level of trust in Yahoo's management team. It can be seen that your practice in the past two years has been recognized by everyone." Liu Chuanzhi

"This is what I hope..." Zhou Shi
